Although it looks bleak from a form perspective, it's not a case of giving up on promotion, just concentrating on our own results. Anything could happen.
I can illustrate that with an example from last season involving my Spanish team. This may be too long-winded to read...
When the Covid suspension happened Elche were in good form and had moved into the final play off position of 6th
After the resumption they were inconsistent and out of form, and in the penultimate match fell out of the frame.
In the final round of games they had to win and hope that Fuenlabrada lost at Deportivo la Coruna, who themselves had to win to stand any chance of avoiding relegation.
Two hours before all games kicked off Fuenlabrada reported several Covid cases and their match was postponed. The other teams affected by play-offs and relegation wanted to postpone too, but the League insisted they all play.
Elche won their match with a goal in the last five minutes, temporarily moving them to 6th, however Fuenlabrada only needed a draw in the outstanding game against Depor, who now knew they were relegated, had nothing to play for, and with players no doubt looking for contracts elsewhere.
That game was played three weeks later. Fuenlabrada took the lead, Depor equalised in the second half and then, in the final minute of injury time, were awarded a dubious penalty, which they scored.
This meant Elche, having reconciled themselves to going on holiday, competed in the playoffs.
In the first tie they had a key player sent off in the first half but held on for a 0-0 draw. In the second leg, a goal in the last five minutes from a 40 year old put them in the playoff final.
The first leg of the final was also a dour 0-0. With the second leg also goalless and about to go into extra time, Elche managed a winner in the 96th minute, getting themselves promoted to La Liga on 23rd August due to the delays, and a succession of late goals against the odds.
The new season began 20 days later on 12th September.
If there's a moral to this it's that none of us have ever seen it all in football.
